TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Depending on the model, your washing machine is equipped with various automatic safety functions. This enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. The washing machine will not start, no indicator lamps are on. Check whether: � the mains plug is inserted into the socket � the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it) The washing machine will not start... and the �Start/Pause� indicator lamp flashes. Check whether: � the door is properly closed (child safety); � the �Start/Pause� button has been pressed. In models with LCD display, the display shows: Residue from detergent and additives left in the detergent drawer at end of wash. Check whether: � the siphon is correctly installed and clean (see �Care And Maintenance�) � sufficient water is entering.

If individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely if it detects too great an imbalance even after several spin starts, in order to protect the washing machine. In models with LCD display, in the event of an imbalance, the display shows:
